Yoast SEO 22.7

Yoast SEO 22.7 converts selected blocks to the Blocks V3 API and brings multiple bugfixes. Find more information about our software releases and updates here.

Enhancements​

  • Converts the Yoast How-to and FAQ blocks to use the Blocks V3 API.
  • Introduces a date and a separator snippet variable to the meta description text field, to make clear that both the date and a separator are automatically added to the character count of the meta description. Hovering over the variables reveals a tooltip with more explanation.

Bugfixes​

  • Fixes a bug where a PHP deprecation error would be thrown when trying to convert a relative URL to an absolute one, with the provided value being null.
  • Fixes a bug where the character count of the meta description field would not include the automatically added date and separator when no additional content was provided.
  • Fixes a bug where the elements in the Yoast sidebar and metabox are displayed in an incorrect order if Yoast SEO Premium is activated.

Other​

  • Deprecates \Yoast\WP\SEO\Integrations\Blocks\Structured_Data_Blocks::enqueue_block_editor_assets().
  • Properly escapes tags in the Enhanced Slack Sharing presenter to prevent incorrect rendering and unwanted, potentially malicious behavior. Props to @rob006.
  • Removes the yoast-components-package script.
  • Sets the minimum supported WordPress version to 6.4.
